Zelenskyy reacted to Russia's shelling of a hotel in Kryvyi Rih
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote about this on Telegram, commenting on the ballistic missile strike on a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, which killed four people and injured more than 30.
The rescue operation in Kryvyi Rih at the site of the Russian missile strike lasted all night. Ballistics were typical of a regular hotel. Just before the strike, volunteers from a humanitarian organization checked into the hotel — citizens of Ukraine, the United States, and Britain. They survived because they managed to get out of their rooms. But, unfortunately, four people were killed in the strike. My condolences to their families and loved ones. In total, more than 30 people were injured, all of whom received the necessary assistance. Many civilian facilities around the hotel were damaged by the strike. Rescuers are still working at the scene — all services.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
He thanked everyone who is on duty, at work, in service, and who is saving people these nights and days.
I thank the employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the National Police, doctors, in particular the emergency workers, and everyone whose work affects people's lives. And we must not let up on the pressure on Russia to stop this war and terror against life.
On March 7, a day of mourning will be declared in Kryvyi Rih for the victims of the hostile terrorist attack.
